BUTTER, 
There  has  been  a  fractional  advance  on  the 
top  grades,  and'  perhaps  some  sales  above  tiio 
top  quotation,  a*  there  is  difficulty  in  finding 
quality  to  supply  critical  customers.  The  ex¬ 
treme  heat  has  made  a  surplus  of  low  grades, 
some  of  which  are  over-salted  in  an  evident 
effort  to  overcome  the  difficulty.

You  can  do  your  work  on  time  when 
you  have  a  Tractor.  Hot  -weather  or  hard 
ground  can’t  stop  you.  Wet  weather  can’t 
put  you  back  long—  you  can  run  your  tractor  night 
and  day  il  necessary  and  catch  up  soon. 
Plowing-  and  preparing  the  seed  bed  at  just  the 
right  tune  has  a  lot  to  do  with  the  size  of  your 
crop.  Mr.  Carl  Vrooman,  Assistant  Secretary  of 
Agriciiiture.  says,  1  liava  seen  the  time  when  It  , 
would  be  worth  the  price  of  a  tractor  to  get  a  j 
week  s  work  out  of  it.  ”

A  tractor  also  makes  the  work  more  pleasant,  joyk 
It  saves  hard  work  and  time.  Most  tnen  and  Rw
